U N P A C K I N G A N D I N S T A L L A T I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Over the Range Microwave Oven/Hood
System. Two people are recommended to install this product.
If a new electrical outlet is required, its installation should be completed by a qualified electrician
before the Microwave Oven/Hood is installed. See 3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on
page 7.
1 MOUNTING SPACE
This Microwave Oven/Hood requires a mounting space on
a wall as shown in Figure 1. It is designed to be used with
standard 12-inch wall cabinets.
If the space between the wall cabinets is 36 or 42 inches,
a Filler Panel Kit can be used to fill the gap. The metal filler
panels come in 3-inch wide pairs. One set is needed for a
36-inch opening and 2 sets for a 42-inch opening. See page
14 for ordering information. The Filler Panel Kit should be
installed before the Microwave Oven/Hood is installed.
2 WALL CONSTRUCTION
This Microwave Oven/Hood should be mounted against and
supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall must be flat for
proper installation. If the wall is not flat, use spacers to fill
in the gaps. Wall construction should be a minimum of
2” x 4” wood studding and 3/8” or more thick dry wall or
plaster/lath. The mounting surfaces must be capable of
supporting weight of 110 pounds—the oven and contents—
AND the weight of all items which would normally be stored
in the top cabinet above the unit.
The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2” x 4” wall stud.
To find the location of the studs, one of the following methods may be used:
A. Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the nails in the stud.
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate stud location.
The center of the stud can be located by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud and then
placing a mark halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs will normally be 16” or 24” to either
side of this mark.

3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in
a risk of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. DO
NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE
THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD.
The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to a sepa-
rate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch circuit, single
grounded receptacle. The receptacle should be located inside the
cabinet directly above the Microwave Oven mounting location as
shown in Figure 2.
NOTE:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson.
2. Neither Sharp nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage
to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe
the correct electrical connection procedures.
Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven
to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different
electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven
as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.
4 HOOD EXHAUST DUCT
When the hood is vented to the outside, a hood exhaust duct is required. All ductwork must be metal; absolutely
do not use plastic duct. Check that all connections are made securely. Please read the following carefully:
Exhaust connection: The hood exhaust has been designed to connect to a standard 3-1/4” x 10” rectangular
duct. If round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round adapter must be used.
Rear exhaust: If a rear or horizontal exhaust is to be
used, care should be taken to align the exhaust with the
space between the studs, or wall should be prepared
at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space
between wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
Maximum duct length: For satisfactory air movement,
the total duct length of 3-1/4” x 10” rectangular or 6”
diameter round duct should not exceed 140 feet.
Elbows, adapters, wall caps, roof caps, etc. present
additional resistance to air flow and are equivalent to a
section of straight duct which is longer than their actual
physical size. When calculating the total length, add the
equivalent lengths of all transitions and adapters plus the length of all straight duct sections. Figure 3 shows the
approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ductwork parts. Use the values in parentheses for calculating
air flow resistance equivalent, which should total less than 140 feet.

ABOUT YOUR OVEN
This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully
and always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset.
Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques,
hints and recipes. See pages 29 and 30 for ordering
the Sharp Carousel Microwave Cookbook.
NEVER use the oven without the turntable and support
nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could
be placed in the oven. The turntable will turn both
clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb
the microwave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you
may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal
for the exterior of the oven to be warm to the touch
when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence
the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven.
Generally, covered foods will not cause as much con-
densation as uncovered ones. Ventilation openings
must not be blocked.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.
All ovens are rated 950 watts by using the IEC Test
Procedure. In using recipes or package directions,
check food a minute or two before the minimum time
and add time accordingly.
ABOUT FOOD
FOOD DO DON'T
Eggs, sausages,
nuts, seeds, fruits
& vegetables
• Puncture egg yolks before cooking to
prevent “explosion”.
• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash,
hot dogs and sausages so that steam
escapes.
• Cook eggs in shells.
• Reheat whole eggs.
• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
Popcorn
• Use specially bagged popcorn for the
microwave oven.
• Listen while popping corn for the popping
to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special
POPCORN pad.
• Pop popcorn in regular brown bags
or glass bowls.
• Exceed maximum time on popcorn
package.
Baby food
• Transfer baby food to small dish and heat
carefully, stirring often. Check temperature
before serving.
• Put nipples on bottles after heating and
shake thoroughly. “Wrist” test before
feeding.
• Heat disposable bottles.
• Heat bottles with nipples on.
• Heat baby food in original jars.
General
• Cut baked goods with filling after heating
to release steam and avoid burns.
• Stir liquids briskly before and after heating
to avoid “eruption”.
• Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or
cereals, to prevent boilovers.
• Heat or cook in closed glass jars or
air tight containers.
• Can in the microwave as harmful
bacteria may not be destroyed.
• Deep fat fry.
• Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet
papers.

ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
The following coverings are ideal:
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for re-
heating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and
reheating.
• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for
microwave use can be used for cooking and
reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch
food. Vent so steam can escape.
• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice
because heat is kept near the food to hasten
cooking.
• Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or
foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal
twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can
escape.
How to use aluminum foil in your microwave
oven:
• Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smooth-
ly on the food can be used to shield areas that
are either defrosting or cooking too quickly.
• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any
surface of the oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings,
check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe
suggestions.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave ac-
cessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully
before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A
microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in deter-
mining correct doneness and assure you that foods
have been cooked to safe temperatures. Sharp is not
responsible for any damage to the oven when acces-
sories are used.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use
potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special
attention to packages that crisp food because they
may be extra hot.
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one
cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not
a toy. See page 26 for Child Lock feature.
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many
pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully
in your new microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does
not touch the interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking
and reheating:
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram
®
), such as
Corningware
®
.
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex
®
)
• microwave-safe plastics
• paper plates
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and
porcelain
• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended
preheating time. Follow manufacturer's
directions.)
These items can be used for short time reheat-
ing of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:
• wood, straw, wicker
DO NOT USE
• metal pans and bakeware
• dishes with metallic trim
• non-heat-resistant glass
• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
• recycled paper products
• brown paper bags
• food storage bags
• metal twist-ties
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for mi-
crowaving, place the empty dish in the oven and
microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which
becomes very hot should not be used.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave
oven with a supervising person very near to them.
Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person
should be in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably;
if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing
on the oven door.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards
outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount
of time indicated and add more as needed. Food
severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cook-
book for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper,
microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any
thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking
before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to
speed cooking of such foods as chicken and ham-
burgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over
at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and from
the center of the dish to the outside.
• Add standing time. Remove food from oven and
stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows
the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that
cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
I N F O R M A T I O N Y O U N E E D T O K N O W
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to
the United States Department of Agriculture's
recommended temperatures.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in
a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER
leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, un-
less it is approved for microwave oven use.
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when
handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through
utensils to cause skin burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from
the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of
a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and
oven cooking bags away from the face.
• Stay near the oven while it's in use and check cooking
progress frequently so that there is no chance of
overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or
other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne
bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can
cause arcing and/or fires.
• Use care when removing items from the oven so
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not
touch the safety door latches.
